Maybe I misundertood something how it works internally. But it has the effect that I desired, i.e. preserving changes after the conffile is moved to the other package. Without the last column: $ dpkg -i timidity_2.13.2-41+b1_amd64.deb timidity-daemon_2.13.2-41_all.deb ... $ echo "# some change" >> /etc/default/timidity $ dpkg -i timidity_2.14.0-2+test1_amd64.deb timidity-daemon_2.14.0-2+test1_all.deb ... $ grep change /etc/default/timidity $ With the last column: $ dpkg -i timidity_2.13.2-41+b1_amd64.deb timidity-daemon_2.13.2-41_all.deb ... $ echo "# some change" >> /etc/default/timidity $ dpkg -i timidity_2.14.0-2+test1_amd64.deb timidity-daemon_2.14.0-2+test1_all.deb ... $ grep change /etc/default/timidity # some change $
